SCCSD joins Alliance for Excellent Education: Digital Equity Program

The Sioux City Community School District (SCCSD) has been invited to join a small number of districts to participate in the Future Ready Schools (FRS) new initiative: Digital Equity Program. The program, led by the Alliance for Excellent Education and AT&T’s Aspire Initiative, was created to help improve education opportunities among students of color, those living in rural districts, and those from low-income families.

The FRS Digital Equity Program is a 5-month pilot project that guides and supports a small sample of district leadership teams through the Future Ready Schools five step planning process. The Alliance for Excellent Education will provide additional support to districts to form an implementation plan for student-centered learning upon completion of the program.

The results of the pilot program will form the design, and potentially the initial membership, of a network of dynamic district leaders representing high needs students across the country.
